This is a spectogram

I have plotted the spectograms of both Freddie Mercury as a solo artist and Queen the band. For the plot of Freddie Mercury as a solo artist I have chosen the song The Great Pretender, as it is the most popular according to Spotify.

For Queen, I think Don’t Stop Me Now is a very representative song by the band Queen. It is very energetic, melodic and euphoric. It is also one of the most popular songs according to Spotify, along with Bohemian Rhapsody and Another One Bites The Dust.

The spectogram shows that Don’t Stop Me Now contains lots of pitch classes and is has thus very complex harmonies, while The Great Pretender seems to have a more simple harmony throughout the song. From Freddie Mercury’s spectogram it becomes clear that the song The Great Pretender is in the key G major and modulates to G# major at around 2 minutes into the song.

A very different song by Queen is Ming’s Theme. It starts with low electronic sounds and later on
